Many people prefer to leave in September, so here are a few good reasons to postpone your departure. Provided, of course, you’re not forced by school vacations.
More affordable prices
It’s not news that rentals are cheaper out of season, and prices can be as much as half what they are in August. This goes hand in hand with the price of train or plane tickets.
Indian summer
The heat is more bearable, you can go out more easily between 12pm and 4pm, and you can lie on your towel without worrying too much about sunburn while you perfect your tan.
Avoid the crowds
Now that the high season is over, it’s time for some peace and quiet: less crowded tourist spots, less crowded beaches, clearer roads… In short, an even more relaxing vacation without all the inconveniences of high summer.
Enjoy the authentic charm of your destination
In August or July, it’s hard to imagine the places you visit without all the tourists. The advantage of leaving in September is that you can experience the real atmosphere of the city without all the tourists, but with the locals.
The locals are nicer
Seasonal workers, shopkeepers and locals are more relaxed after 2 busy months. You’ll certainly be better received than in midsummer.
So don’t hesitate to make your reservations!
Depending on your destination, don’t forget to think about your travel insurance. If you’re planning a long-haul trip, you’ll also need international health and repatriation insurance.
